The ranking of the hands are the sameas in conventional poker ranking of the hands with the exception thatthe joker can be used to represent an ace or to represent one card ofeither a straight or a flush. Because of the use of a joker, five acesis the highest possible hand.

The game is started by each player placing a bet (ante). The housedealer then deals seven cards to himself and each of six players. Theplayer is allowing play as the banker to play against to other playersand house dealer when house dealer is not banking.
